“Quirky 1.0

“Quirky is a new Linux distribution created by Barry Kauler, the
founder of Puppy Linux, “as an avenue to explore new ideas.” The
project’s inaugural stable release was announced earlier today:
“This first release is quite straight, not very ‘quirky’. Some of
the interesting ideas that I want to try are still to come. The
focus for now is to test a lot of the new stuff in Woof, such as
Rerwin’s analog and 3G modem detection/setup scripts.”
